Answer: Proposal to divide Palestine into Jewish and Arab states
Step-by-step explanation:
After the second World War 1939 - 1945, the United Nations (UN) adopted a partition plan (number 181), that seeks to divide the former British colony of Palestine into two separate nations: Israel for Jews and Palestine for Arabs. This was to please the Jewish after the Holocaust that occurred in World War Il. However, the Arabs vehemently rejected the UN resolution and refused to agree to a division of its region. The Jews in the region ignored the Palestinian agitations and declared its area the independent nation of Israel in 1948. This singular act is the cause of many Arab-Israeli wars till date.
